This Friday at KPS ...

Kingswood Photographic Society is absolutely delighted to be able to welcome John Chamberlin FRPS, MFIAP, APAGB as their speaker on Friday 22nd November, giving an illustrated talk entitled Digital Capture from around the World.  

John has been a prolific photographer for nearly 35 years. He gained the Associateship of the Royal Photographic Society in 1984 and the Fellowship the following year. Until December 2009 he was a member of the RPS Travel Distinctions Panel and Chair of the Visual Art Panel. He has served on the RPS Nature Panel and has also served as a member of the RPS Distinctions Advisory Board and the Fellowship Board as well as Chair of the newly formed Multimedia and Narrative Panel. In 2008 he was awarded the Fenton Medal and Honorary Membership of the RPS for services to the Society. As well as belonging to the London Salon, he is a member of Arena and the Zoological Photo Club; membership of each is by invitation. 

His images have been exhibited extensively in Britain and in various countries around the world gaining many awards and he has also acted as a selector at countless national and international exhibitions. His AFIAP and EFIAP were gained in the nineteen eighties and his MFIAP in 2007. 

He works in both monochrome and colour with his current images being captured digitally. In his own work he is essentially a 'photographer', rather than a digital artist. He tries to get everything 'right' at the taking stage. As well as pictorial and creative work and images taken on worldwide travels, he is an extremely active nature photographer with a particular love for Africa, a continent he has visited over twenty five times. 

This Friday this certainly promises to be another excellent evening so we hope to see you there. 

Kingswood PS meet Fridays from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at St Barnabas Church Hall, Warmley, Bristol  BS30 5JJ.  Visitors are very welcome and the cost for this evening is £3.00.
